I used to work 32 hours a week (4x8) and now work 36 hours a week (4x9, although in reality it's more like 4x8,5 + 1x2). 36 hours is actually about as common here in the Netherlands as a 40 hour work week.
For me, a 4 day work week is infinitely better than 5 days. The balance between work, social, housekeeping and alone time is extremely important for your overall productivity. When you work 5 full days per week, that balance is too skewed towards work which can cause stress, tiredness and burn-outs.
